    Having just listened to Greatec AGM, the boss is very confident about the company's future prospects.
    Management has also prepared a blueprint plan for the next 10 years.
    The future can be expected.
    As is well known, GreateC's company has a total of 4 major segments.
    They are Solar, e-Mobility, Semiconductor, and Life Science, respectively.
    Currently, Solar and e-Mobility each account for 85% of Greatec's order book value.
    Management also said that currently the Solar business has no plans to find new customers.
    The only customer was First Solar, and the company was too late to do it.
    Currently, the e-mobility market is slowing down, mainly due to the slow growth of the global electric vehicle market.
    However, management believes that the e-Mobility market will improve next year.
    Currently Greatec's e-mobility business,
    This includes making batteries (modules & packs) and drive units.
    There are currently 3 customers, and another potential customer will start placing orders in the next few months.
    After that, the capacity was full, and the management was not looking for e-mobility customers for the time being.
    Regarding Life Science, Greatec is still cultivating...

    MASTER has benefited from First Solar's orders, and YOY has been growing for 7 consecutive quarters. Master's revenue and net profit for the quarter reached RM42mil and RM7.2mil respectively. Compared to the same period last year, Master's growth was as high as 45.1%.
    Despite a series of challenges facing the E&E industry, management said First Solar brought in an increase of MYR 2.3 million due to increased demand from existing customers, which partially offset the decline in other industries. This quarter's revenue declined compared to the previous quarter. The main reason was that solar sector deliveries were reduced by RM1.5 mils as a result of maintenance activities for solar energy customers and cost reduction measures provided to customers.
    Currently, Master is improving the efficiency of the production line. Management expects the electronics industry to pick up this year, so he believes that deliveries will also increase this year. Master and L&PBHD are First Solar's main carton suppliers. I believe First Solar will benefit from the US tariff policy, and I believe First Solar will order more and more in the future. His suppliers will also benefit.
    Master is one of the few cardboard companies that can maintain a profit margin of 12% or more. The current PE is 7.86 which is worth our attention. We'll keep watching. $MASTER(7029.MY)$

    The US stock market closed higher last Friday. Data released by the University of Michigan showed that short-term inflation expectations have declined somewhat, easing market concerns. The Nasdaq index rose more than 1%, and the chip stock index surged nearly 2%, all to new record highs, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose slightly. Despite this, the Dow recorded its biggest weekly decline since last year's banking crisis, ending a five-week streak of gains. Tesla rebounded more than 3% in this week's trading, and Nvidia reached a new high, with a weekly increase of 15%. Crypto-related stocks also showed strong performance, with Coinbase rising 8.6%, while GameStop surged more than 20% during after-hours trading.
    Although the University of Michigan report shows that short-term inflation expectations have declined, consumer confidence remains at a six-month low. People's evaluations of durable goods purchases have dropped to a one-year low, and their evaluation of the current financial situation is also the worst in five months. The unemployment rate is expected to rise. This sluggish trend in consumer confidence is putting pressure on future consumer spending. Expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates within the next year have also declined.
    In this environment, financial market volatility has intensified. Ten-year US Treasury yields declined after consumer inflation expectations were announced, while two-year Treasury yields fell from a two-week high, although the entire week recorded the biggest increase in six weeks. The US dollar index accelerated its decline during the week, although it still recorded its biggest weekly gain in a month and a half.
    In the commodity market, crude oil prices rebounded after hitting a three-month low, but fell more than 2% throughout the week. The price of gold continues...

    HARTA's revenue increased by 2.4% compared to the same period last year, mainly due to increased ASP and higher US dollar exchange rates. The lower margin this quarter was mainly due to an increase in the price of raw materials, but Harta mentioned that demand for gloves has also increased. The quarter was still profitable on interest.
    Demand for rubber gloves showed initial signs of improvement, and sales orders gradually resumed. Furthermore, capacity rationalization measures carried out by domestic manufacturers, combined with the withdrawal of some smaller market players, helped ease some oversupply pressures. The global production capacity of rubber gloves is still too high, and the rise in raw materials and natural gas prices has led to a decline in the overall margin of gloves due to the inability to increase ASP again.
    Overall, the excessive production capacity of local gloves has been mitigated to a certain extent, but global production capacity is still too high. The quarter was still profitable with 60 mils of interest. $HARTA(5168.MY)$
